| | Yep, put me down on the list. I have had a few turds come up to me over the years and announce "mate, that's my fucking bike, you nicked that from me". Seems like an odd way to start an attempted theft ? Maybe in the world these bastards inhabit the overwhelming majority of bikes they and their peers ride are stolen bikes, so they must occasionally get the response "sorry mate, I didn't realise it was yours, I got it off some bloke for £20, here take it back". |

| | thanks to this thread last night I had a dream about some kids surrounding me saying "hey bruv, dat's ma bike". I can't remember much development - I think they all just stood around looking at each other uneasily, knowing they were a simulation of Slaytanic's reality. |

| | hey aidan get the point and a funny one too, it is how i felt as well reading the start of the thread. gives me a right good laugh, though I have to say that never have I seen a tough fixed rider in London so i guess you are wen't a little hysterical. I doubt you are hard and sure a slap from you would be a soft breeze. PS your balls are in your throat if I ever get to meet you withy one dastardly kick. |

| | Several times have had groups of kids showing an interest in my bikes. Found it a bit suspicious but never really thought they would try to teef it. Always around Belsize Park / Hampstead though. Think maybe they have just realised that at the moment theres a buck or two to be made from nicking a fixed bike in terms of a quick sell on. |

| | It's one of them things. Currently, my bike seems to be owned by about 20 different people, all mainly between Essex Road and Shoreditch park. If one more person tells me it's their bike, I'm gonna pull over and get them to give it a clean and start paying insurance on it. That'll scare 'em! But seriously, I'm not looking forward to the day I'm (If I'm) stopped. Fortunately the Witcomb glides smoothly past the Rude Dogs without a peep, so that's the main ride to work now. The 'gay pursuit' bike is for team rides only!..Road Rash stylee. |

Marquis Estate by Essex Road is home to a nasty gang, who are probably responsible for most of the bike thefts in the area, and Somers Town has been well rough for as long as I can remember. I NEVER tangle with these gangs if I can avoid it - nasty nasty peeps with no respect for property or human life. I have had little trouble down the years, but I don't generally ride a blinging bike like teen. What was worse, teen, having kids shout stuff at you, or some old codger give you mouthful for cross-locking to his girlfriend's bike? :-) | |
